Sofia Kourtesis (DJ-set)
Thursday, Surr Arena - 01:30
Sofia Kourtesis is a Peruvian producer, vocalist and DJ living in Berlin. On August 1, she will release her new EP Volver via Ninja Tune. The EP recording itself she describes – in keeping with its title – as like a Pedro Almodóvar movie: a chaotic, painful but ultimately joyful experience, as she worked across her twin homes in Germany and Peru with dramatic changes occurring all the time. Across this process Sofia was touring the world, playing bigger and bigger shows, working with local communities in Germany and South America, navigating the continued care of her mother, and even decided to throw beginning to study medicine into the mix.
This has always been what makes Sofia such a special artist – there is so much living crammed into every inch of her music. Here she builds on that, her intoxicating spirit more present than ever. Don’t miss her DJ-set at Stay Out West!
